DUH!
It looks like one of our SCOTUS Justices is starting to see the light. Justice Breyer: 'Not all our decisions are right'.
Looking to foreign laws and rulings for their own makes SCOTUS look rather stupid. Especially the ruling Kelo vs. The City of New London was so blatant against our Constitution that two Justices are facing actions against them under this very ruling.
Here's your daily dose of Bull droppings to keep your BS meter calibrated:
"We're not bound by any foreign law," Breyer said, "but this is a world in which more and more countries have come to have democratic systems of government with documents like our Constitution that protect things like free expression. And there are judges, and the judges have a job somewhat similar to mine, and so why not sometimes, on unusual occasions probably, look and see what they said if it's relevant. Maybe we can learn something. I mean they're human beings, too."
There is no country like ours in the world. No other country was founded by the People, with the Constitution being a limiting document upon the federal government. No other country puts the freedom of the People first, and government second. That is, those countries that even have some sort of Constitution. Most countries don't have such a document. The government is just in power and can do whatever they want to do.
To look to other countries for rulings on Americans is just plain wrong. I don't expect other countries to use our rulings to affect their law, and I sure don't expect the same from our SCOTUS.
